December nights in Bulloch County take on a festive glow as residents get into the Christmas spirit by stringing lights, hanging wreaths and red bows, and illuminating homes with spotlights. A holiday tradition for many is taking a leisurely drive around the neighborhood to view the decorations. Some are conservative in their décor, with stately wreaths and bows surrounded by white lights; while other homeowners go all out, with hundreds of colorful lights, lawn sculptures, animated reindeer and jolly inflatable Santas, snowmen and other characters.
